Undercover SS2009 Patti Smith "Babelogue" Bangle

275.00

SS09’s “Neoboy and Poptones” was split into two disparate themes. The Neoboy featured more technical wear, while the Poptones collection drew heavily from Brit punks of yesteryear, most notably the Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten. The “Neoboy” moniker is taken from a Patti Smith poem of the same name.

Fittingly, the collection was full of references to her work, including the season's enduring rallying cry “Fuck the Past, Fuck the Future”. Not an actual quote from Patti but rather repurposed from her iconic screed “Babelogue”, which opened with “I don’t fuck much with the past but I fuck plenty with the future”. The gold bangle interplays the quote’s intrinsic nihilism with a luxuriously crafted piece of jewelry. An exceptionally rare and defining accessory of the season.
